I plan to fix the car with them this weekend.
Actually, I have recently taken to wearing latex gloves for a lot of jobs
that I never did before. I use gloves when painting now - imagine not
having to deal with tinted hands in your professional life... I use latex
gloves now for auto mechanics repairs. Imagine not having all of that
grease under your fingernails and in the cracks of your skin.
As un-manly as gloves sound, I've come to appreciate the benefits of them.
Now I just have to find the right glove compound for the stuff I do.

Speaking of "un-manly" equipment, I've become extremely attached to a
set of inexpensive-but-decent knee pads. They're great for jobs on the
floor, under sinks etc. Allow me to bounce up and down during a project
like a teenager. I call them my "old man pads", but in truth they are
"smart, comfortable man - pads" Highly recommended!
